The speed of a neural
signal can be up to 322 km/h (200 mph). When we are thinking, we are
firing off signals at 20-30 meters per second (70 to 100 feet per
second). It is an extremely fast process, especially when we take in
sceneries that we see for the first time.
On the other hand,
hormones spread through diffusion, and with the help of the
bloodstream. It is a much slower physical process. And hormones are
known to play an important role in our emotional state.
In a world where
everything is moving faster and faster, when even our brain is barely
keeping up, how are we supposed to feel?
